How you can help sort and pack food donations

Each year, letter carriers collect nearly one million pounds of food from homes across Long Island helping to stamp out hunger. This food is then brought to a warehouse to be weighed, sorted, packed and shipped to fill local soup kitchens, pantries and shelters. This task is a huge undertaking which is why we need as many volunteers as possible on May 10 and from May 12 to 15.

Warehouse Location:
Quality King Warehouse
2060 9th Ave., Ronkonkoma
